license-detector

Reliable project licenses detector (command line)

Description

It scans the given directory for license files, normalizes and hashes them and outputs all the fuzzy matches with the list of reference texts. The returned names follow SPDX standard.

Why? There are no similar projects which can be compiled into a native binary without dependencies and also support the whole SPDX license database (≈400 items). This implementation is also fast, requires little memory, and the API is easy to use.

The detection algorithm is not template matching; this directly implies that go-license-detector does not provide any legal guarantees. The intended area of it's usage is data mining.

This package provides the command line interface.
